Abstract

To process geological log data, a two-dimensional set of log values recorded at a plurality of points is obtained about a borehole periphery, and over a chosen length along the borehole. The set of log values are decomposed by identifying in the set one or more main functions indicative of one or more main geological layer features of the rock penetrated by the borehole and removing log values corresponding to values of the main functions from the set of log values. Further decomposing the set of log values can be performed, as necessary iteratively, based on one or more subsidiary functions. The log values of the set remaining after identification and removal of values are designated as texture. Functions indicative of the main and subsidiary layer features and the texture are used to construct a synthesized volume representing the rock removed during creation of the chosen length of the borehole.
